A CLI tool that packages proven OpenClaw deployment patterns from community reports into testable, reproducible setup recipes

OpenClaw has 38M monthly visitors and 346K GitHub stars, but new users still spend hours configuring Docker, SSH, YAML, and security hardening before their agent does anything useful. The Ask HN thread (335 points, 379 comments) reveals dozens of working deployment patterns buried in comments, blog posts, and personal repos. This CLI tool scrapes, validates, and packages those patterns into versioned recipes users can deploy with one command and verify with built-in smoke tests.

Gap Assessment

CompetitiveMultiple tools exist but differentiation opportunities remain

3 tools exist (OneClaw, ClawOneClick, DigitalOcean OpenClaw 1-Click) but gaps remain: Closed-source hosting, not a CLI tool, no community recipe submission, no smoke testing, no version pinning against OpenClaw releases; No recipe scraping from community sources, no self-hosted option, no compatibility testing across releases.

Features3 agent-ready prompts

Recipe scraper that extracts OpenClaw deployment configs from GitHub repos, HN threads, and blog posts into a standardized YAML format
One-command deployer that takes a recipe slug, prompts for missing values, generates all config files, and runs the full setup with progress output
Community recipe registry with upvoting, version pinning, and automated compatibility testing against OpenClaw releases
